You’re Bruce Springsteen and you’ve just played the greatest halftime show in the history of the Super Bowl. What are you going to do? Why, put the tickets for your U.S. tour up on sale, of course! Because, after all, there were an awful lot of people watching the Super Bowl, right? And you rocked them harder than humans deserve to be rocked, right? So they’ll want to come see your show now more than ever, right? Right! But wait, there’s a problem here – when Springsteen tickets went on sale last week, Bruce fans flooded Ticketmaster’s site looking for a fix, and many in the New Jersey area got error messages telling them to try back later. When they did, they found out the shows were sold out – nooooooo! – but they still had a chance: A link would take them to TicketsNow (Ticketmaster’s resale site) where they could buy seats for a lot more than face value. less
